• He was sitting at the desk, working out some numbers that just weren't quite adding up right - it looked like his mom had started working on them and got distracted, probably by his father none the less. He smiled a bit as his fingers traced over the initials carved into the desk before he shook his head and went back to working until he heard the door open. Bringing his eyes up the visitor who apperantly was above knocking - he bit off his comment when he saw who it was. (NT) -- Austin, 21:08:37 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• Her breath caught softly and she lingered in the doorway for a long moment - just who she had been hoping to get her thoughts away from. Clearly torn, she shifted from one foot to the other and her lower lip tucked between her teeth before she just cleared her throat softly and ran one hand through her dark soft curls. "Sorry... I didn't know... I'll just go downstairs..." So this was how it was going to be - knocking on doors from now on, and avoiding running into him at all costs, yet she was sure that was going to be impossible. (NT) -- Mia, 21:21:36 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• He shook his head, standing up, one hand going to his stomache to hold back his suit jacket from falling open. "No, no it's alright." He cleared his throat, setting down his pen for a moment before he cleared his throat. "My dad said you might be coming up here after your classes, I am just working on some paperwork...." He cleared his throat, sitting back down and adjusting the sleeves to his jacket before he looked at her - brows raised. "Your more then welcome to stay," He could be every ounce a professional when he needed to be - even if his heart was pounding out of his chest. (NT) -- Austin, 21:43:05 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• Part of her wanted to stay, but she didn't think she could handle the awkwardness - they had been so close not so long ago, and now she didn't even know what to say to him. She sighed softly and crossed her arms quietly under her chest, but didn't move for a long moment until she finally padded over to sit on one of the chairs opposite him. Her bag dropped beside her seat, her gaze dropped to her fingers linked in her lap - she hated this so much, all she wanted was to hug him, and kiss him, and just have things back to normal between them. Instead, they felt like strangers. "I've just got some time to waste.." (NT) -- Mia, 21:50:54 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• "Well, I am a good enough person to waste it with, right?" He questioned, his head tilted to the side as he looked up from the calculator, his lips pursed just a bit. "I heard you were taking classes again...'round here?" Small talk was an awful thing but at least this way he was finding out some things about her - thats all he wanted, to find out how she was and what she was doing with herself these days. (NT) -- Austin, 21:57:08 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• She exhaled softly at that and raised her quiet gaze to him slowly, leaning back into the chair. "Yeah, yeah, of course..." She never wanted him to think that she didn't want to be around him - it was just so hard and it hurt so much. "Yeah, just part time at the university..." She hated it too - the small talk, but it was definitely favorable to silence. (NT) -- Mia, 22:03:15 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• "Dating anyone?" He questioned, never one to beat around the bush. His brows raised as he looked back up to meet her eyes again just briefly before penciling a few numbers into his book on the desk. He had chopped off all his longer curls, leaving his hair short but much more professional playboy looking then little boy cute as it had been before. (NT) -- Austin, 22:11:53 11/02/04 Tue

  ---

• Her brows furrowed softly at that and she sat up a little - definitely hit off guard by that one. The idea had never crossed her mind, not once in the entire time that he had been gone. She couldn't see herself with another man as long as she was in love with him, and she was still very much in love with him - and couldn't imagine feeling any other way, even with all the pain and heartache. "No... No one..." A thought occurred to her then though and she cleared her throat softly before reciprocating his question - of course he had been travelling, but maybe he had met someone while he was gone, maybe that's why he was asking her... "Are you?" (NT) -- Mariah, 01:26:04 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He nodded at that, a little bit of relief crossing his features as took in the information that she was offfering. "Am I seeing anyone? No." The answer was definate, of course, he had been with girls while he was travelling but it was never anything more then a night or two and then he was on his way again. He didn't care about them in the least it had just been about physical pleasure and momentary enjoyment - there was nothing more. (NT) -- Austin, 01:59:38 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Oh." She caught the slight relief and it only served to confuse her more - she had no idea what he was thinking or feeling and that was such a foreign feeling. She did sigh softly though - relieved herself to hear that he hadn't met anyone else, she was pretty sure she wouldn't have been able to deal with that one right now, or ever really, but now even less. Clearing her throat softly, she slouched down into her chair a little as she gazed at him. (NT) -- Mia, 02:18:03 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "So do you have another class later, is that why you don't head home?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side as he thought it all over curiously. There was so much going in each others lives that they had absolutely no clue about. He missed her like crazy, her friendship more then anything. Not that he didn't love her more then anything else in the world, he did - but he needed her friendship too. (NT) -- Austin, 02:23:18 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Yeah.. Got a couple hours to kill and then have to head back - it just to come here then to drive all the way home..." She nodded a touch and dropped her elbow to rest on the armrest, and then her chin in to her hand - thinking of something else then. "I moved back in with my parents..." She just wasn't comfortable living alone, and it got costly, and she wouldn't ask her parents to pay for it all, so it was the one thing that made sense. (NT) -- Mia, 02:26:21 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He offered a slight smile at that, leaning back to kick his feet up onto the desk, his brow cocked. "What a coincidence, so did I." He ran his hand over his short hair idely before he let out a soft breath, a little unsure of what to say to her. (NT) -- Austin, 02:35:13 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "I kind of figured..." Her hands dropped into her lap and her fingers linked together, eyes dropping for a long moment. Never in her entire life had things been like this between them - they had been inseperable literally since birth, and now neither knew what to say or how to act around the other. She sighed quietly and pushed both hands through her hair to tie it back and finally raised her gaze to him once again, teeth catching the side of her lips. "Yeah... So... How was travelling?" (NT) -- Mia, 02:44:44 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He grinned boyishly, tilting his head to the side as he regarded her. "You always were a smart girl, My-my." The familiar name that had been in place since they could talk slipped easily from his lips as he flashed her a charming, boyish smile. He was a charmer there was no doubt there and feeling awkward and uncomfortable just wasn't his thing. "Travelling was good, I got a lot of ideas for the club and as long as nothing expected, or unexpected, happens I am going to start renovations here in a month or so." He grinned lightly, tilting his head his eyes drifting over her slowly. "You look, Mia, for real...I gotta say though, definately like your outfit today better then your outfit last night." (NT) -- Austin, 08:51:22 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• She sighed softly at the warmth that followed that nickname - though she was still a little standoffish and a lot unsure. "Yeah, I'm no fool." Sometimes she felt like one though - such a fool, but then she had never had any reason to expect him to take off on her. "Sounds good... Your dad's starting to itch to get out of here." Lips parting softly, she smiled after a moment - just slightly, but atleast it was there. "Yeah, well this place has a dress code." He looked good too and that was such a relief - but because she knew him so well, she noticed the small things, like the fact that he had put on wait but still had more to go, and that he was looking healthier but still needed more rest... (NT) -- Mia, 08:59:15 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He nodded a bit before he leaned forward once more, the chair dropping back to all four legs as he leaned forward across the desk towards her, his hands clasped, fingers entwined together as he rested his hands on the desk - his eyes serious on hers. "Listen, I am sorry if I overstepped a line or something in telling you to be careful, I just, I know what it gets like out there - and I am sure you do too - but its just hard to stop trying to protect you even if it has been forever since I had the chance too." He shrugged a bit. "Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut." The lecture from his dad hadn't put him in a very good mood or a very hopeful one - his dad had always been the one he went to when he needed to vent and now it seemed even he didn't understand him. (NT) -- Austin, 09:06:18 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Austin, no..." She sighed softly at that and shook her head a little, brows furrowing gently - she didn't want to dump on him and she didn't want him to think she had spent all those months pining for him, even if she had. "It's okay. I'm sorry for snapping at you - rough night, I guess." Her fingers brushed absently up and down her arms as she just eyed him quietly, lips gently pursed. "Things change, people change." (NT) -- Mariah, 09:13:57 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He wasn't sure what they meant by that because in his mind that didn't go along with the topic of conversation at all. "No, I am serious, I was wrong..." He shrugged a bit. "I am sure you are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself out there and you don't need me treating you like anything other then a capable worker." He didn't want to baby her anymore then he himself wanted to be babied. Nodding deftly, feeling like he had handled the conversation well, he picked his pen back up and scratched in some numbers. "You wanna know the first update I am making to this place?" (NT) -- Austin, 09:44:16 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Right... Sure." It wasn't that she liked to be babied so much as she liked knowing that he cared enough to worry, and now here he was telling her that he wasn't going to worry, and she was just so frustrated with everything. This wasn't how things were supposed to be going and she hated that she had no control over any of it. "You know, if you're going to just be treating me like any other employee, I'll just hear about the updates at the next staff meeting. I have some studying I can do." (NT) -- Mia, 09:49:15 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "I was just going to say a computer system..." He trailed off, his brow furrowed as he looked up at her - not really expecting the huge attitude from her. "Look, Mia, yesterday you bitched at me because I was concerned and singled you out, today your appearing to be angry because I am treating you like any other waitress. If you have something better that you would rather be doing then talking to me right now, then please, feel free. I don't need pity chatter." His jaw set heavily, getting aggravated now so he did what he always did - focused completely on the work in front of him. (NT) -- Austin, 09:55:32 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "God, Austin, I'm sorry if I'm having a little bit of trouble with all this." Her brows furrowed gently and she shifted slowly to stand - it was hardly that she would prefer to study then talk to him, she just didn't know how to handle this. "I don't want to chit-chat with you like we're just some run-of-the-mill friends, and I have never pitied you in your life - why would I start now?" Clearly troubled, she shook her head slightly and reached for her bag, voice catching just softly. "And I'm a bartender, not a waitress." (NT) -- Mia, 10:01:25 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "What do you want me to do, Mariah? Have some big dramatic speech?" He questioned, his brow furrowed as he placed his hands flat on the desk and stood up, leaning over it slightly as he watched her. "I am doing all I can to make this as normal as possible Mia because what else do you want from me right now?" He cleared his throat, his hand shifting to the desk to run through his hair. "I don't know what else you want me to do." He repeated weakly, shrugging his shoulders, some of the fire leaving his eyes. (NT) -- Austin, 20:07:07 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "I don't want some big dramatic speech, Austin. When have I ever been about big dramatic speeches?" Her brows furrowed gently and she crossed her arms tightly under her chest, quiet for a long moment - she had to pick her words carefully because rejection was hard enough as it was, she didn't need to make it worse for herself. "All those months you were gone, Austin, I was so mad, but I still imagined what it would be like to see you again... You'd give me a big hug, and tell me that you missed me, and I'd try not to cry because I know that you hate that, but it'd would just be so good to have you back... And then you were sitting here in Lucas' office, and you hadn't come to see me, and I don't even know what to say to you and I feel like I should shake your hand!" (NT) -- Mia, 20:12:56 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He sighed softly, his eyes and nearly his whole body drooping at that. His hand twisted in his hair for a moment before he came out around the desk, his eyes on her completely honest as he reached forward to take one of her small hands in his. "I am sorry, Mia, for real." He sighed softly, shrugging as his thumb stroked the side of her hand. "You know I am not the brightest guy around when it comes to people and...I dunno....I just didn't want to deal with you being mad at me or the possibility of getting slapped in the middle of the club or something...I was being a big baby but I didn't know how you were going to react to me.." He turned hopeful eyes up to hers, the corner of his lips turned up just a bit in a slight smile. "I did miss you though." (NT) -- Austin, 20:17:15 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• The look in his eyes and the quiet honesty to his words hit home, and she slipped her fingers from his hand so that she could wrap her arms slowly but tightly around his neck - standing on her tip-toes and ducking her face into the crook of his neck. "I missed you too, Austin..." Her voice was a soft murmur and she knew that she couldn't expect any more than this, but she loved him far too much, as a friend nevermind anything more, to be resentful of him and to stay mad. Though it would take more than a hug and an apology to erase the sharp pain of betrayal that lingered... (NT) -- Mia, 20:24:53 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He let out a soft breath at that, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist as he held her, his eyes sliding shut. She felt so perfect in his arms, just such a perfect and close fit. He took in the familiar fragrance of her shampoo, a low sound escaping his lips as he pulled her tighter. "More then you'll ever know..." He ran his hand soothingly across her back, just staying in the embrace for a long moment - reluctant to let her go. (NT) -- Austin, 20:30:07 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "I know, Austin..." She assured him softly in his ear, her eyes squeezed shut and lips lightly brushing his lobe before she just nuzzled his cheek and held herself closer - she had missed the familiar comfort of him more than she had ever thought possible. She had grown up in his arms, and it was a weird feeling not to have him around to hug her when she needed it, or when it was cold outside, or just because... Not about to let him go anytime soon, she just clung tightly to him, one arm tight around his neck and her other hand twisted into his hair at the back of his head - inhaling his soft scent and relishing in the feel of his arms around her. (NT) -- Mia, 20:34:35 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He sighed softly after he drew back, a few long moments later. "So...are bartender huh?" He questioned with a slight smile, brushing her hair back behind her ears. "Taking lessons from my mom?" He kept one arm around her even as he gazed out the window for a moment - the last thing he needed was for his dad to see this and for it to encourage him. He needed her in his life, there was no doubt in it there, but he didn't need anyone pressuring him. (NT) -- Austin, 20:53:44 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• Her hands slipped down his chest as they broke apart, but at his arm around her shoulders, she looped both of hers around his waist and leaned gently against his side with a quiet sigh as she gazed up at him, breaking a brief smile. "I try... Because learning with my dad is like boot camp, but then he gets all upset when I have a question and I ask your mom instead of him..." She'd been doing it long enough now though that she didn't have too much questions too often anymore, but still. (NT) -- Mia, 20:59:12 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He laughed at that, barely stopping himself from brushing his lips against hers. They were friends their whole life, only romantically involved for like a year, he should be able to handle not being physical with her but it just seemed like second nature now. "I am sure your great....you heard that I am taking over partial ownership?" (NT) -- Austin, 21:01:45 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• She was waiting for it too, but kept reminding herself that it wasn't going to come - he loved her as a friend, she knew atleast that much, but didn't want anything more from her and she was just going to have to get used to that. A hand patted his stomach softly before she slipped away gently to scootch herself on to sit on the edge of the desk - still close to him, but sitting now instead. "I am great - come down tonight and I'll make you a drink. And I heard - that's great, Austin... It'll be good for everyone." (NT) -- Mia, 21:10:10 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He nodded a bit. "It's just kind of.. a hesitant deal for right now - I don't want to take to much responsibility with my health and all" He shrugged a bit, completely at ease with speaking of his sickness.He shifted to cross over to the desk, sitting down. "So, like I was saying before you started yelling at me..." he winked teasingly. "...I am going to get a computer system installed here because this doing everything by hand is a pain in the ass." (NT) -- Austin, 21:14:05 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• She just nodded a little, understandingly - she was always of the mind that it was better to think positively, like that his health was fine, but she had also long-since learned it was easier at times to just accept it. Smirking a touch, she linked her fingers together and nodded again. "I was thinking about that too, actually... Your dad is really stuck in the stone age. And I never yelled at you." (NT) -- mia, 21:17:20 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He smiled lightly at her for a brief moment before he looked down, rolling his eyes. "He doesn't worry about it, he just has my mom do it all for him." He grinned lightly, his fingers tracing over the L..L and J.S . engraved on the desk for a moment before he looked back up to her. "How your 'rents doin'?" He loved her parents almost as much as he did his own - and hers were oh so much entertaining. (NT) -- Austin, 21:24:28 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "'Least some things never change.." She glanced down to her fingers linked in her lap, and then back up to him with a slight nod, absently pushing one hand through her hair. "They're good... My dad keeps talking about retiring though and my mama and I have to remind him that he's not even fifty yet. Mom's good - Uncle Jay and Mika are having another kid though, so she's been enjoying fussing over them..." (NT) -- Mia, 21:29:42 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He shook his head at that, laughing a bit. "They want another one after that little demon they just had?" He shook his head with a smirk, running a hand over his head again before he pursed his lips. "I heard that Jay's whole crew and all their kids are back 'round here - thats got to be interesting...." He smirked at the retiring part, shaking his head. "I know, my dads all talkin' 'bout how he's old and needs to retire too...." (NT) -- Austin, 21:32:39 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Yeah, I think they're still trying to get it right... Speaking of the little demon, I owe Mika a babysitting day. You should come with me and we'll take him to the mall and the park and everything... It'll be fun - he's a riot." It was so easy to slip back into old ways - it used to be that rarely a day would pass that they weren't doing everything together, even before they were romantically involved. "It's funny.. I think they're just getting lazy and trying to slack off.." (NT) -- Mia, 21:36:54 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Sure, sounds like fun." He smiled easily in return - it really did sound like a good time and he wouldn't argue with spending some time with her. "What time is your class?" He paused a moment, his brow furrowed for a second. "What are you going to school for?" Now that she had time, when they were together she spent all her time going to doctors appointments and treatements with him. (NT) -- Austin, 21:41:13 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• "Great..." She smiled a little and then glanced to her watch. "Four. I should get going pretty soon..." Raising her eyes to him, her smile lingered, but she sighed a little - it was hard to believe that all this was going on and neither had any idea about what the other was doing. "Nothing specific just yet... I'm just trying to get back into it. Psych, an english, and economics - just going part time right now. I think I'll pick up four next semester." (NT) -- Mia, 21:55:42 11/03/04 Wed

  ---

• He stood up at her words that she had to get going, his head tiling a bit. "Did you drive here or take the bus?" He knew that last year she had hated driving and more often then not walked or took a cab wherever she wanted to go. "Thats great that your doin' something though, for real. I mean, I kinda got my future here handed to me, you know? If I had to figure out what I wanted to do with myself...well, it would just never happen." He shook his head, sighing. "I'd be thirty and living with my 'rents, still debating what I wanted to major in." He grinned lightly, crossing to lean on the front of the desk, his hands curling around the edge on either side. (NT) -- Austin, 06:37:53 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "The bus... It only comes every half on the ten though, so if I miss it I'll be late... And that's why I'm the one going to school and your life is set out for you." -- Mia, 06:58:04 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• A low breath escaped him as she kissed his cheek and he couldn't help but raise up one hand, twisting it in her dark hair for a long moment as he held her to him. -- Austin, 07:06:01 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "You don't mind?" Her voice was soft and she had to clear her throat quietly inbetween words, head ducking a little as she stepped back as well and pushed both hands through her hair, fighting the same warmth that he felt. It really didn't seem to matter how long that they had been friends, because the moment that they had crossed that line into more-than, the connection was so intense that she, and he presumably, had definite trouble denying how they were effected. They were both lying to each other, but they couldn't lie to themselves, and the world - anyone who would ever observe them together - knew otherwise. But they weren't doing that now - right now they were being friends. "That would be great if you could... But if you have work to do..." (NT) -- Mia, 07:15:35 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• He shook his head, a smile caressing his lips as he gazed at her. -- Austin, 07:23:04 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "It's only an hour long tutorial..." She drew her bag back over her head and dropped it back down before settling back onto the edge of her seat, shoulders hunched comfortably and her fingers tucked between her knees. Head tilted delicately, she just smiled as she watched him - she could hardly take her eyes off him, he looked so much better now than he had when he left and she loved it. Even though she knew that it could all change overnight, she was determined to appreciate it as long as it lasted - they had no other choice but to live life by the moment. That atleast she had learned. (NT) -- Mia, 07:30:58 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "Great, how about we grab some dinner afterwards?" He questioned, drawing out his own pocketknife to idely carve on the desk before he looked up at her again. "I have some errands I can run while your in class and maybe pick you up afterwards?" He questioned, an almost hopeful tone to his voice as he shifted to lean back again. "I am not to hungry yet but I a sure I will be in another hour or so..." He tilted his head hopefully, his eyes on hers with a small smile still playing on his lips (NT) -- Austin, 07:49:08 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• This was so typical of them - although this was definitely the most serious disagreement that they had ever had to deal with, it was just like them to yell for a few minutes, then hug and make up moments later. Breaking a soft grin, she nodded a little and leaned forward to rest her elbows on the edge of the desk, chin resting in her hands. "Sounds great to me. I'm starving already. By the end of class I'll be eating my pencils. You should pick me up something to snack on afterwards on our way to a restaurant. Let's go Mongolie Grill... Or did you wanna do take-out?" (NT) -- Mia, 07:54:02 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• He laughed lightly, shaking his head at her orders that were so politely phrased. He had always loved her take charge attitude - it always shown through whenever he was feeling down or not wanting to go to his treatment. She took charge and put him in his place on more then one occasion. "That sounds great Mi-Mi. (NT) -- Austin, 07:58:37 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• He laughed lightly, shaking his head at her orders that were so politely phrased. He had always loved her take charge attitude - it always shown through whenever he was feeling down or not wanting to go to his treatment. She took charge and put him in his place on more then one occasion. "That sounds great Mi-Mi." He smiled, standing up before looking at the clock. "Come on, we should get going if we don't want you to be late for class." He smiled lightly, offering her his arm as he passed, cocking a brow playfully. It was hard not to have fun when she was around. "I can just kind of run my errands and then hang around the campus waiting for you...see how the other side lives." (NT) -- Austin, 08:06:13 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "I'm always late for this class." She smiled and sighed softly then and just sat there quietly for a long moment before shifting to stand, hefting up her messenger bag yet again. One eyelid dropped in a wink as she slipped her arm through his and leaned gently against his side as they headed out - this was how things were supposed to be. Gazing up at him, she reached up to kiss his cheek - much more briefly this time - and tightened her arm in his. "Sounds like a perfect plan. Whatcha gonna get me to snack on, honey?" (NT) -- Mia, 08:09:53 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• He shrugged, gazing down at her as he pushed open the door to the office and led her out - eyes focusing on the sleek black s10 out in the parking lot. "I don't know yet honey, you'll have to find out when I pick you up." He opened the door for her on the passanger side, offering her a hand up before he crossed over to his side. There were people starting to trickle in to get ready for opening but they could handle it without him.... (NT) -- Austin, 08:26:25 11/04/04 Thu

  ---

• "Ooh, intriguing." She winked playfully and settled into his truck with a soft sigh and a small smile. Fingers running along the interior of the door, she gazed out the window and then turned her eyes to the other side of the cab as he got in. "I like smarties... And bananas." She informed him casually, yet still matter-of-factly - just in case he was in need of some ideas.
